Love Story | Kim Hess | UCHealth

Matchstick was asked to provide aerial footage for this UC Health spot. Utilizing our 6k Cineflex we were able to bring an epic cinematic look to an incredible story of perseverance.

Kim Hess, from Steamboat Springs, had sustained a hand and wrist break on her descent from the summit of Denali (elevation 20,310 feet) in Alaska. Dr. Michael Gordon, a hand surgeon at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, was contemplating what promised to be a complicated surgery to repair three broken bones when Hess made a startling statement. Gordon needed to make her hand perfect, she said. She was going to climb Mount Everest next year.
